The Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS) has the pleasure of inviting you to the 15th and final meeting in the Aid Impact Forum
Critical Spotlight on Danida’s Private Sector Programme
Wednesday, 12 January 2005, 14.30-17.30
Danish Institute for Intenational Studies
Main Auditorium, Pakhuset, ground floor
Strandgade 71, 1401 Copenhagen K
Background
The Aid Impact Forum has held 15 meetings in the last 3½ years. It has been linked to the AID research programme (‘Aid Impact: Development Interventions and Societal Processes’). This programme has been implemented over four years, 2001-2004, and thus terminated at the end of last year.
From 2005, a broader ‘Aid Forum’ (not necessarily with a focus on aid impact) will replace the Aid Impact Forum. Since this is not linked to a research programme – at least initially – it will not have as frequent meetings as its predecessor.
Senior Researcher Hanne Adriansen () will be responsible for the Aid Forum.
Practical information
The seminar will be in English.
Participation is free of charge, but registration is required by e-mail to Ellen-Marie Bentsen () no later than 10 January 2005 at 12.00 noon.
Please include name, title and organisation (all in English) as well as your e-mail address in your registration.
